‘What did I say!' Check Rana Daggubati's reaction when he realised he was abusing Venkatesh in Rana Naidu Season 2
As fans eagerly await the release of Rana Naidu Season 2, actor Rana Daggubati shared a hilarious behind-the-scenes moment he witnessed with his maternal uncle, Venkatesh Daggubati, during the shooting of the show. Talking to The Indian Express' SCREEN, Rana said he didn't realise until much later that he was abusing his mama on screen in the first season of Rana Naidu. 'Shit! What did I say!' was the actor's first reaction when he learnt what his Hindi dialogues meant. 'Since it was Hindi, I didn't understand much of what I said in part 1. So I thought it was okay. It was worse when I was dubbing it in Telugu,' Rana shared. However, the actor said that since both of them were in 'very definite attire and look,' they were all fine. 'We're licensed to do anything,' he laughed. The 'Baahubali' actor said that ever since he became an actor, he had always thought he would work with his uncle Venkatesh. 'From the time I made it as an actor, I always thought I'd work with him at some point of time. I was really looking forward to what that project would be,' he told SCREEN. 'As a co-actor, he's pretty phenomenal and charges us to be better each time,' Rana said, sharing his experience of working with his uncle in Rana Naidu. The actor also added that the Netflix India series is 'something unique that came our way. It's not something he or I have done before.' 'These characters can just go on because they started from such opposite ends that you can travel with them across multiple seasons,' he added. Rana Daggubati also acknowledged that Rana Naidu is 'the only 'pan-Indian' show,' as his co-star Abhishek Banerjee rightly pointed out. Fans can watch Rana Naidu Season 2 on Netflix. The OTT giant will begin streaming it on Friday, June 13.

After Rana Daggubati, Kajol slams paparazzi culture as ‘disrespectful' and intrusive
Bollywood actor Kajol has slammed paparazzi culture as disrespectful and intrusive. In an interview with a portal, Kajol — star of the upcoming horror film Maa — took issue with being constantly tailed by photographers, and how it violates an actor's personal space. 'I am a little conscious with paps,' Kajol told Bollywood Hungama. 'I think there are certain places where they shouldn't be. Like I find it very strange when they run after actors at someone's funeral and ask for photos. I find that odd and a little disrespectful. I find it strange that you cannot even go for lunch.' In the past, several film celebrities (including Kajol) have expressed their annoyance with pap culture. A 'pap' or paparazzo is a photographer engaged to click pictures of celebrities, often milling outside airports, gyms and restaurants. While some are invited or handed 'tip-offs' by an actor's publicity team, there are also those who turn up unannounced or behave indecorously. Most recently, actor Rana Daggubati lost his cool after being pursued by photographers at the airport. A video went viral of Daggubati, a major Telugu star who features in the Hindi-Telugu web series Rana Naidu, accidentally dropping his phone after a stranger bumped into him. The actor, waving his hand in displeasure, looked annoyed at the snappers who continued filming him. Speaking about the airport incident, Daggubati later told India Today, 'I didn't call them (the photographers). I don't like it. I don't like them in my personal space, and I have been very vocal about it. They come outside my home, which I have respectfully told them [not to do]. And even at airports, they still turn up. I think it's pretty annoying.'
